“The Candidate” I think that the movie tries to say to society, the way in which a person lives a political campaign, as well as the handling and the appareances that a person has to have in the political world, can bring many changes to the life of the candidate. In this case the candidate is Bill McKay, many things change in terms of public aspect with public media, public opinion, the citizens and also in the private aspect as it is with his family, specifically with his wife and his father. In the case of the relationship with his wife it is obivious that the distance deteriorates their relationship because of the work in his campaign. The movie reveals that in campaigns there is often a sexual compromise for the candidates over sex and power. For example, there are several scenes where a woman involved in the campaign of Bill McKay is very enticing, to the extent that he cheats on his wife with her. Another one of the fundamental aspects that accounts for this type of behavior is the stress that is experienced by those involved with the campaign. which occurs not only with politicians in the U.S., but also within the world. This film is clearly a reflection of what involves a political campaign and can perfectly be exemplified today. Many of the resources used in the 70’s to attract voters still exist today and do not vary much from those used nowadays. For example calling people to audiences for the presentation of the candidate and hear the proposals, visiting communities, greeting people on the street, and making television commercials. As shown in several scenes, Bill McKay goes to the beach to talk with young people, greets people outside of the train stations, gives presentations at venues such as the scene where the audience is presented in a locality. There were only a few people in a bad mood, it was a very funny scene from the film. What changes...

...“A Presidential Candidate” by Mark Twain
Rhetorical Analysis Essay
Writer, Mark Twain, in his essay, “A Presidential Candidate,” critiques the characteristics
of political candidates by creating a persona which embodies a characteristic not common among
such candidates­ honesty. Twain’s purpose in doing so is to exploit politicians as cowardly,
illogical, and inhumane people. He adopts a mock­serious tone in order to convey to his audience
the idea that politicians disguise themselves as highly respectable when in reality, they are
simply trying to cover up the many vices they are often guilty of.
Twain begins his essay by establishing his persona. He introduces himself as a potential
presidential candidate, a candidate who unlike many others, is honest and open about the vices
he is guilty of. He alludes to the well­known fact that political candidates are often pretentious,
publicly over exaggerating what good they have done while burying each of their vices. While
exploiting the artificial presentation of the common politician, he additionally criticizes those
who fixate of vices the candidates are often guilty of in order to emphasize the idea that a
candidate can be completely honest and still, there will always be ...

...best technique to ‘measure’ the impact of social variables on movies would be to compare a classic version of a movie to its modern remake. In my essay I will contrast the 60’s version of the movie the Manchurian Candidate to its’04 version. The alterations of the latter version of the movie The Manchurian Candidate provides us the differences between the views of the two eras; it clearly defines how the circumstances of the time of production are portrayed in the movie, and how the social factors such as racism, communism and the political situation are reflected into the movie.
The plot of the Manchurian Candidate revolves around the distressed political situation and the search of power in the political world, the latter version of the film keeps the major plot and characters, nonetheless the tones and themes are updated to reflect modern America. The basic outline kept by both versions of the film is the return of a group of American Soldiers from a war and the desperate search of Ben Marco for truth as he questions his dreams and eventually his sanity. The film perfectly reveals the power of human to control minds and bend them to darker wills, it exposes how man can be turned into a mere puppet and be controlled at command. A film such as the Manchurian Candidate, which starts of as a war drama and then turns into an exhibition of naked political ambitions would be difficult to digest without the use of comic...

...The Manchurian Candidate
“On the afternoon of his arrival in Washington, Raymond Shaw was decorated at the White House by the President of the United States. His citation attested to by his commanding officer, Captain Bennett Marco, and the nine surviving members of his patrol, read in part: 'Displaying valor above and beyond the call of duty did single-handedly save the lives of nine members of his patrol, capturing an enemy machine gun nest and taking out in the process a full company of enemy infantry. He then proceeded to lead his patrol which had been listed as missing in action for three days back through the enemy lines to safety.' Hence, the pretense of the film The Manchurian Candidate.
The central conspiracy in this film involves the chosen candidate, Raymond Shaw, operating as a mole-like assassin under a developed mind control scheme of communists from the USSR, China, and North Korea. The central conspiracy reflects cold war fears and paranoia with the use of brainwashing, American traitors, and communist infiltration.
The film begins by illustrating a reoccurring dream of Captain Marco which eventually is learned to be an actual event. In this dream, Captain Marco recalls a display which reveled the effectiveness of the conditioning of a squad of American Soldiers by communists of the USSR, China, and North Korea. The nine American soldiers were captured on patrol and conditioned, or brainwashed, for three...

...The Manchurian Candidate
The Manchurian Candidate is a Cold War thriller film directed by John Frankenheimer from a screenplay by George Axelrod based on Richard Condon’s 1959 novel of the same name. The Manchurian Candidate was released in October of 1962. The film stars Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Janet Leigh. It features Angela Lansbury, Henry Silva, and James Gregory. The film begins in Korea in 1952 where Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) and his platoon are betrayed by their Korean translator, captured by enemy forces, and taken to Manchuria. After the war, the soldiers return to the United States where Sergeant Shaw is credited with saving the lives of his platoon and awarded the Medal of Honor at the recommendation of the platoon commander, Captain Bennett Marco (Frank Sinatra). When asked to describe Shaw’s actions and demeanor the whole platoon responds automatically, “Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.” This contradicts what they really think about Shaw.
Marco has been suffering from a recurring nightmare in which the platoon is at a ladies garden club meeting and a hypnotized Shaw strangles and shoots two soldiers in the platoon. Marco’s perception of the ladies at the meeting switches between communist military brass and ladies fanning themselves in the heat. Marco’s dream is excused as PTSD by Army Intelligence until another soldier,...
